Bryce:
Playlist
from March 25, 2016

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Dave in Vermont:
I was there a few years ago and I was lucky enough to get a job where I could pretty much do the minimum and my boss was ok with that , anything above that was appreciated. Then i quit and went back to college. Now it's my wife who should be here on the comments board but alas, no music in her office.

let's circle back around 2, and we'll peel back the onion, drill down and try to close the loop on this playlist, get it in front of some eyeballs. should have some bandwidth by then. like herding cats, all these records....

And if you could please include all that in the dashboard report.

I want to see the Gantt chart by 1600 hours

Maybe you can work on that as a stretch goal.

On a Scrum team, there is the Scrum Master, then everyone else is either a pig or a chicken. Because if you're having bacon and eggs for breakfast, the chicken only contributes to the project, while the pig is committed to it. I am not making this up.

It's an early twentieth century transformative strategy tool for a real boots on the ground front end partnership dynamic. Literally thinking ABOUT the box, if you will.

I subscribe to Schrodinger's school of management. The only things that get done are the ones that are observed.

A new revenue stream is always welcome.

Rev. Turnip Druid:
man, I can't even joke this lingo. It's too close. I'll flip.. & run up to the top floor & take a dive on the aforementioned Baseball-Cap-People. As a holy sacrifice.

But remember, one can never step into the same revenue stream twice.

You can if you cultivate ongoing sales relationships with your clients.

from now on, free jazz ensembles will wear racing suits with the names of their sponsors.

Corporate:
Bryce, we need you to be the forward face of the organization. We're going to go granular with this thing and really zoom in to look at things from the 50-foot level. We're talking to Dave in marketing and Randy in the Delhi office to see if we can't bundle some proposals together and drive home this pitch for the Kauffman account. We need you to back off on the weirdness a little and play some more user-friendly material that doesn't challenge or alienate our core clients. Natalie Merchant, Matchbox 20, Josh Groban ... that type of thing. Play ball with us, Bryce, and we'll play ball with you. I'll have Donna call you later to schedule something.

All I can say about baseball caps is I really hate them.

i guess a metaphorical baseball cap would protect you from metaphorical rain....

I remember an interview on MTV where they were explaining their name, and they were like, "Yeah, Jam is because we're all into basketball, and Pearl is a precious gemstone. And we put them together and liked how it flowed, Pearl Jam."

free value, we won't know what to do with all the mindshare

I was away for a while. This conversation will be stored in the cloud, right?

Cliff:
Clay, when I was 13-14 I got my mom to sit down and watch the video for Jeremy, and also the entire Unplugged session on MTV. She sat there the whole time with her arms folded across her chest, making "tsk" noises and asking things like "So is this what you call, `alternative'?!"

We have scrummers in my organization, thankfully they are isolated fro the most part from the rest of.

re: PJ - they liked all the same bands as bands I liked but they were so boring.

So much dislike for Pearl Jam.....I had their 2nd album on cassette and played it over and over in high school until it ran down. Haven't listened to them in years now though.

every time i hear someone say "reach out," I hear the Four Tops song.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:17pm
Bryce:
they recently started saying "share out" at my job. we'll be sharing this out with everyone later this week.

We comprehend things, not comprehense things. Jeez. And inflammable should mean not flammable. not extra flammable.

Alejandro in TO:
Pearl Jam for me would have been around grade 6/7. I never got into them or owned any of their albums. I think I tried to like them because everyone else did but...nah

Fri. 3/25/16 2:20pm
Cecile:
that was me with Jackson Browne, the Eagles, and the Boss.

I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know there are some issues with the music you listen to at your desk. It's great that you have adventurous tastes, but it has become a distraction for some of your coworkers.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:25pm
Alejandro in TO:
Not only is it a distraction to the other workers, but it may be in violation of work ethics code #4276 and I'm not sure you even want to know the penalty for such a violation.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:31pm
Cecile:
for about 5 minutes, I was like that. If you just organized and believed hard enough, the world would be beautiful. I learned, instead, it makes a lot more sense to navigate this ugly world that transform it.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:32pm
Cliff:
Be *in* the world while not being *of* the world, right?

Fri. 3/25/16 2:32pm
Cecile:
and jeez, once you're out in it, it's kind of beautiful anyway.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:33pm
Cecile:
Yeah, that was the old Catholic doctrine, which I also understand is preached by Latter-Day Saints as well.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:36pm
Cliff:
I try to practice that myself, but I don't think ironic detachment is the way to do it like so many people in their 20's and 30's

Fri. 3/25/16 2:38pm
Cecile:
I'm not detached from the world. I just don't fight it the way I used to.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:39pm
Andrew Waterloo:
I'm more Buddhist in that I practice finding wonder and fulfillment in simpler things. I figure by the time I'm 90 sweeping the floor will be as satisfying as an A+ on a difficult exam.

Fri. 3/25/16 2:45pm
Andrew Waterloo:
It's good for the mind to have a less adversarial relationship with the world. It's like those cheesy affirmations that go like "if you don't like the rain, buy a nice rain jacket, and when it rains enjoy wearing your beautiful rain jacket"

Time to turn the cap around, pull up my socks and slip the dogs into a pair of birkenstocks, then crank up Pearl Jam on the ol' walkman, and go play some paintball. Later, gators.

Thanks for the show. Good times listening live.
